Yeah I'd definitely go for it at that price but with the Tyga kit, it's proving difficult to find a location to mount the reservoir.

At the moment I've got it cable tied to the top of the swingarm, lol.

While I don’t really have the $$ at the moment last night I made a bit of a impulse ebay buy ...

It might take awhile before I can get my tank painted to suit but I really wanted a lucky strike theme and this has got to work out cheaper than a decent repair and paint job on my own fairings. These will cost me about $600'ish delivered from Hong Kong.

MMmmmmm ...

That's going to look pretty damn nice Laika. The white does look better than the black, more race, lol.

very narce

The same guy also has a brilliant set of Telefonica fairings for about the same price.

Hahaha we *so* have to have a 2 stroke GP

Very nice, always liked the lucky strike theme

I spent the afternoon working on the bike today and its all back together. I didn't get time to take it for a spin but did warm it up with the fairings off to check for coolant leaks.... The air was very still here this afternoon and I had a bit of a laugh to myself as I noticed the big cloud of smoke slowing drifting down the valley

With a bit of talk on PV covers and drain bottles here I pulled off my fairing and took a couple of quick and nasty pic's

Top left of the image is from a low angle to show how much oil its collected from the lower cylinder after about 3 tanks of fuel. To the right, the size of the hose that comes with the TYGA covers. An overall shot to show where I mounted the lower bottle ... FWIW the bottle is ~95mm L (inc cap) x ~45mm dia.

I just chucked on a couple of the new panels to get an idea how it will look

rc_sam · 10-06-2008, 09:25 PM

phwooor...looks sweet

frazcat · 10-06-2008, 09:47 PM

barfridge · 10-06-2008, 10:46 PM

Fozzy · 10-06-2008, 11:01 PM

Im Lovin it

JiggyJigs · 11-06-2008, 10:38 AM

I must say I'm loving the look of the black top and luckystrike bottom and tail. Looks sex!

All this 2 smoke talk in here is pushing me to get the track bike I keep dreaming about.

How's the fit on those fairings?

Hard to tell yet but they look good.. The rear panels are not drilled at all and the side panels only have some of the holes drilled. In a way I'm kinda glad, I should be able get a good fit unless I make a cock up with the drill

... So far I'm pretty happy for the price.. $630 AU to my door.

Fingers crossed I get a bit of a tax return, money for the smoker is a bit thin at the mo.

Have you read the recent thread on the rgv forums about fitting up the top cowl?

Laika · 12-06-2008, 11:47 AM

^^^ No ... I'll have a look for that tonight

rgvlee · 12-06-2008, 11:50 AM

it was posted by tom w. he's got lucky fairings as well, not sure if the same but quite possibly.
